Description
Mayank S. Kotadia and co-authors recount a 2026 case in which glue used to treat stomach varices later complicated a liver transplant. Their 62-year-old patient had cirrhosis, a shunt inside the liver, and clots spreading from that shunt toward the heart and into the splenic vein. Such clots once ruled out transplantation for many patients.
Surgeons removed the shunt, cleared the clots mechanically, and completed the transplant successfully. The report walks through the planning that balanced bleeding risk against clotting risk in a patient whose blood system was unstable. It shows that even extensive clots in this setting need not end transplant hopes when specialist teams coordinate care.
